The 2005 Southern African Marketing Research Association (SAMRA) Convention will be held at the spectacular Spier Wine Estate in Stellenbosch from the 11th to the 14th of May. The convention's theme, "Fact, Fantasy & Fiction", lends itself well to a broad spectrum of people, from research suppliers to research users.
